Dear Editor,
It must be viewed with concern the frequent “closing down” of schools by parent or by teachers, or by circumstances contributed to by errant contractors or the Ministry of Education itself.
What is even sadder is that our children, after a very long August break, need to re-commence their learning instead of having an extended holiday. In this entire milieu, we see blame casting.
Has our society degenerated so badly that heads of schools, even teachers, no longer look into the readiness of schools for re-opening?
Surely, if school heads were to visit their schools two weeks prior to re-opening, particularly if repairs were effected during school break, it would have been determined whether particular schools were fit for re-opening and requisite action duly taken.
It seems to me, however, that waiting until opening day to find out that a school is inhabitable and protesting in the streets, is bent on embarrassing the Administration, not that some of it is not deserving.
Heads of schools are in effect managers and equal responsibility rest on them to know before hand the state of readiness or otherwise of their schools for re-opening. I know of several school heads, who ensure that their schools are clean and ready for the new term.
As it happens, these schools produce very good results.
I would be pleasantly surprised if those who comprise the protesters are actively in schools’ PTAs.
Notwithstanding the above, personnel of the Ministry of Education who have been delinquent in effectively monitoring schools’ rehab projects should be severely censured. Who knows, maybe they too are seeking to embarrass the Administration.
The bottom line is that the future of our children is on the line and they will only learn if they are in school.
